IT TAKES A VILLAGE!
IT TAKES A VILLAGE!
In 2025, the Summer Physics Camp for Young Women would not have been possible without the energy, ideas and support of about more than 90 volunteers from National Laboratories, industry and universities in the US and Europe. Our volunteers reflected the broad spectrum of STEM opportunities: Summer interns, technicians, technologists, RCT, R&D scientist and engineers, PhD students, university professors, attorneys working at National Laboratory, veterans, finance and project management staff, medical doctors at national labs, and national laboratory leadership like associate directors, principal associate directors and even Director's office.

Andrea Albert
I received my PhD in physics from the Ohio State University in May 2013. I am specifically involved in experimental high-energy particle astrophysics. I perform indirect dark matter data analyses and also work on the development of gamma-ray detectors used in those searches. See my CV for a list of publications I have lead or contributed to.

Priscila Rosa, PhD
Priscila is a mid-career scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory. She was born in Brazil, where she received her PhD in Physics. She then moved to the US to pursue a career in science. She is fascinated about materials science, and in particular how elements come together to make beautiful crystals, which display fascinating behavior that may lead to energy applications.

Caitlin is a post doc at Los Alamos National Laboratory. After leaving her home state of Florida with bachelors degrees in Civil Engineering and Physics, she completed a PhD in Physics in Illinois. Her passion for understanding how things work has led her to the field of condensed matter physics where she continues to investigate how scattering light and particles off of materials can reveal their structure and properties.

Hesh Jayatissa
Heshani Jayatissa is an experimental nuclear astrophysicist. She obtained her Ph.D. and M.Sc. degrees in Nuclear Physics from Texas A&M University, and her B.Sc. degree from the University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka. Her research mainly focuses on nuclear astrophysics and nuclear structure measurements using direct and indirect experimental techniques. After receiving her Ph.D., she joined the Low Energy Nuclear Physics group in the Physics Division of Argonne National Laboratory as a postdoctoral researcher focusing on the experimentally constraining uncertainties of nuclear reactions relevant for understanding the nucleosynthesis in explosive stellar environments such as x-ray bursts and core-collapse supernova using the Argonne Tandem Linac Accelerator System (ATLAS). She is currently an Agnew National Security fellow in the Physics division of Los Alamos National Laboratory studying neutron-induced reactions on radioactive isotopes using the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANCSE) facility, relevant for nuclear astrophysics. She carries out nuclear physics experiments at other experimental facilities in the US such as the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB).
